/ The annual meeting of the stockholders
Of the Pelzer Manufacturing Company
was held ut Pelzer last Thursday. The
reports were received and the former
Board of Directors was reelected, as fol-
lows: Francis ]. Pelzer, Augustine 7.
Smythe, w. B. Smith, W. A. Courtenay
and Ellison A. Smyth. There was no
further business of public interest.
Miss Katie Wilson, daughter OF Mr.. w.
H. Wilson, died at her home in this Coun.
ty on last Friday morning, aged Is years.
She was an excellent, pious young lady,
and a few hours before death came she
sang very sweetly two favorite Sunday
School hymns. Her remains were in-
TERED at Lebanon on Saturday, Rev. ].
8. Murray conducting the funeral SER
vices.
The services which began in the Presby-
terian Church last Saturday. morning
closed on Monday night. The sermons of
Rev. E. o. Frierson, of Laurens. were
highly enjoyed by all those whose pleas.
ure 1t was to hear him. Mr.. Frieson is
one Of the most eloquent divines in the
State. His sermons are scholarly and i'm
pressive, and are presented in such way
that child can comprehend them. The
Laurens Presbyterians are fortunate in
having such a pastor.
Whether it pays to advertise or not is
no longer question. A few days sincea
man at Rockford, I'LL, advertised for q
wife and secured one who handed over to
him her fortune worth $4,000. The ad-
vertisement cost fifteen. cents, and the
man realized from the small amount well
invested nine thousand, nine hundred and
ninety.ninef dollars and eighty-fye cents
beside wife. Bring along your adyer-
tisements, but remember we don't insure
for every fifteen cents invested in print
er's ink return equivalent to the above.
s We would call attention to the adver-
,tisement Of Mr.. IS. Fowler, and advise
our readers to visit his store, on Whitner
street, and see for themselves the exten.
.aiyes business in which he is engaged.
The prices which they will obtain from
him will surprise, them, as they can buy
horses, buggies, wagons, harness, saddles,
corn, hay, stock food, provisions and
heavy groceries as cheap as the market
can afford. Seeing is believing, and those
who will take the trouble to call will
doubtless find their visit profitable to
themselves.
: Capt. Lemuei Buchanan died at his
home in Corner Township on wednesday,
18th inst, after brief illness, aged u
years. On Thursday preceding his death
'hewasstricken vita paralysis, and grad
nally grew worse until death came to his
relief. Capt. Buchanan was born and
reared in Corner Township, and resided
there all his life. He was man Of fine
Judgment, and was useful citizen in his
neighbofhood. He was highly esteemed
by his friends and neighbors, who feel
that his place will be hard to fill. His
body. was laid to rest at Generostee Church
last Thursday, the funeral services being
conducted by Rev. c. PRESLEY.
On last Friday afternoon several por.
tions Of this County were visited by
severe rain and hail storms, and in some
places great damage was done to the crops
In the neighborhood of Mr.. s. N. Brown,
near Centerville, the hail destroyed the
crops to such an extent that planters were
compelled to replant. In the town OF
Pendleton, and to the northeast for some
distance, the hail was simply terrific, the
stones being in many instances as large
as hen eggs. The ground was covered
with it, and in drifts the hail lay from six
to twelve inches deep. Its force was so
great as to destroy vegetables aad crops
and necessitate an entire replanting. The
damage was very great.
A mad dog made its appearance near
Taylors old mill, few miles west of the
city, one day Last week, and bit several
dogs, which have since gone mad. The
dog, which was Of the Shepherd species,
with brown, shaggy hair, was killed.
One Of the dogs which was bitten was tied
by lis owner. and while being fed on
bread the crumbs which fell from its
mouth were eaten by the chickens.
These chickens, after eating the crumbs,
would swell up as If they had been pois-
oned and die Immediately. Several Of the
dogs that were bitten have been killed,
though their owners regretted to do so, as
they were valuable dogs. Every dog that
is bitten by mad dog should be killed at
once, and thus prevent the disease from
spreading.
The arti Gle of our West Anderson cor.
respondent calls attention to the action Of
the County Commissioners in requiring
four days work to be done on the public
roads by the LIST of June, and thinks that
their road should have been excepted from
the provisions Of the order, as their Over
seer was mot appointed in the proper time.
The County Commissioners intend to
carry out the road law faithfully, but, Of
course, If there are peculiar cumstances
like those which exist in West Anderson,
and the people could not reasonably do the
work by the LIST of June, the Commits
sioners would extend the time. Our Com
missioners have every consideration for
the people of the County, and will, in
every instance, do what they think is
reasonable and fair. ofcourse, it is moth
ing bat right for them to have all sections
Of the public roads worked according to
law. They are sworn to do it, and are
liable to punishment if they fail to per.
form this duty, hut of course they will ex-
ecute It with due regard for the rights of
